Defining Optimal Aerobic Exercise Parameters to Affect Complex Motor and Cognitive Outcomes after Stroke: A Systematic Review and Synthesis

Figure 2

Effects of AE on balance and locomotor/lower limb coordination. (a) Animal studies () are presented as the frequency of AE-induced positive (black bars) and negative (white bars) findings. (b) Clinical trials () predominantly reported positive findings (black bars) in both experimental and control groups: outcomes included Fugl-Meyer assessment, balance (e.g., Berg Balance Scale, limits-of-stability test), functional lower limb mobility (e.g., get-up and go test, sit-to-stand test, and turning speed), and strength.
